My social media profiles mention that I'm a recovering academic. What do I mean by that, and why do I think it's important?

An international research team has developed a new treatment approach for severe COVID-19, potentially enabling faster recovery and reduced mortality. Results from the Phase II study show that the FasL inhibitor Asunercept allows recovery in an average of 8 days—compared to 13 days in the control group.

Okay, so: Peer Support is a thing.

It's not widely known, and it's IMPORTANT.

A Peer Support Specialist reaches across, not down. Non-hierarchical-- that's literally a requirement spelled out in the job description.

We close the liminal space between "patient" and "well person". We bridge the gap between the person receiving care and their therapist/doctor etc. We're the people you want knocking on the door when you're having a major personal crisis-- you know, instead of the people with guns. We've lived through our own crises/trauma/illness/addiction/etc, and we know how it actually feels.

This isn't just some cute hand-holding role. It's a crucial part of a larger movement to integrate and humanize-- frankly, to TRANSFORM-- healthcare. That's the agenda, straight up. And I even get to fucking SAY THAT out loud.

And how do we enact this subversive scheme? By using empathy to relate to people, while helping empower them to determine and work on their OWN damn recovery goals, without judging.

Trying to "fix" people leads to burnout. Coercion and punishment have diminishing returns-- you can't force anybody to get better by kicking them when they're already down. Stigma has done massive damage. So we slow down, give an actual shit, and walk WITH people while they learn to fish, instead of beating fish over their heads, get it?

How's that for revolutionary.

James Walker's book: 'Dead Windows: My Long Journey out of Domestic Violence' speaks of his experience as a victim of domestic violence. "We (men) are taught to be tough and to brush off the abuse as just a part of life. For those who seek help, there are very few resources and what is available is very limited."

This is an honest, sometimes brutal, but ultimately triumphant story of his journey. Available on Amazon. https://amzn.to/3WdgaXJ
